Chorus:
Oooh, I believe in the power of kindness
Oooh, I believe in the power of love
Oooh, I believe in the power of kindness
Oooh, I believe in the power of love

We don’t know what’s coming, but we can help shape what’s ahead
With kindness as our currency, the commonwealth is in our hands

(So) give a little, give a little, oh give a lot, don’t stop
A helping hand makes the world go ’round
there’s more than enough

Ooh, I believe in the power of kindness…

Look up now people, but keep your ear to the ground
We are the river flowing,  generosity abounds

(So) give a little, give a little….
Ooh, I believe in the power of kindness…

The honey bee serves sweetness, only to help the world bloom.
Bringing love to the flower, from the flower to the fruit,
we could learn a thing or two.

(So) give a little, give a little….
Ooh, I believe in the power of kindness…

We don’t know what’s coming, but we can help shape what’s ahead
With kindness as our currency, the commonwealth is in our hands

Chorus

Sara writes:  I find this song absolutely irresistible.  The lyrics, harmonies and beat never fail to lift my spirits.  I have added a simple soprano line on top of two lines (with very slight modification) sung by Sorah and Karisha.  This song has been sung many times around campfires and gatherings over the years and I’m sharing harmonies that I’ve heard or added around those fires.
